The thumping from earlier suffuses the air as she advances. The corpse doesn't seem to be fully dead yet. It twitches in time to the increasingly unstable pulse in the air. In time to the thumping, blood oozes out of the beast by the gallon. Eventually, she makes her way around the massive hulk, to catch sight of the other side. Two massive trees have been stripped of branches and are being used as a makeshift brace. An entire rib of the beast is stretched over a roaring bonfire, slowly roasting.
Abruptly, the pulsing hitches, then stops entirely. In that moment, something leaves the body in front of Arya. Almost imperceptibly, it goes limp. This lasts only a few moments, though. Illuminated by the fire, and partially obscured by the smoke, something stirs. A black silhouette reaches into the gaping wound, and the beast twitches. Its neck lifts from the ground, mouth opening, and eyes suddenly bulging. The thumping returns, frantic and erratic, the body stiffening. The shadow withdraws again behind the smoke, fading from vision like a mirage.
As she finally approaches the fire itself, she sees something incongruous with the rest of the gruesome scene. It's a small child, no older than eight, with small black cat ears and a fluffy tail. She is wearing a simple pink dress, fitting for her age. She wears a necklace of leather, with a glittering gem set in its center. She doesn't seem to notice Arya's approach, being much more busy watching the fire and the slowly cooking meat.

Physical Description: *Physical Description*
Arya stands at about 5'10, with an athletic build composed of lean yet strong muscle due to rigorous training in plate armor most of the time. Arya has pure white hair that tumbles down to just above the small of her back in flowing waves.
Her face holds soft features, which seem welcoming to any who look upon them. Her eyes, which are a ruby red color, always seem to hold a friendly, welcoming glint.
***
Clothes and Equipment: *Clothes and Equipment*
In combat, Arya will almost always be wearing a high quality plate armor made of white plate accented in black. The armor was made to fit the user and is more form fitting than plate armor of a lower quality, which makes it hug her features a bit, while also allowing a freer range of movement. On top of this, the armor is also enchanted, which lends it additional strength in the form of various wards placed upon it. With the armor, Arya also usually has a dark navy blue cape that is enchanted to protect her from the elements that may affect a user wearing full plate normally.
Arya's sword, which she carries at all times, appears to be made out of pure gold and is ornately crafted, though in truth it is only golden in color. The blade seems to always gleam with holy energy. The source of the blade's holy energy seems to flow directly from Arya's soul, the blade and its wielder's soul linked by a powerful bond. The golden metal sword is so much a part of Arya that she can easily cast holy magic or light magic through it as she fights with it, and if one were to hold the blade, it would surrender everything of Arya's being to that person, including every memory, thought, and emotion she had ever experienced and is experiencing at the time. If the sword, which is nigh indestructible, is destroyed, however, Arya would die.
At other times, she wears more mundane clothing, though it typically consists of a cloak that is a dark navy blue, similar to her cape while she is wearing her armor that is also enchanted to protect it's wearer a bit. For the most part, she summons most of her equipment through the use of light magic, except for her sword.

Arya was deeply unsettled by the scene, finding out that the huge creature, whatever it was, was still alive. She began channeling holy energy from her sword as she spotted the strange creature, obscured by smoke. Was it eating the giant reptile-like creature alive? It certainly was, and Arya didn't want to end up being eaten too. It seemed to have left for now, however, so Arya cautiously approached the fire, sword raised, only to come upon perhaps the most unlikely scene she could think of.
Upon seeing the child, Arya lowered her sword, at first surprised, and then shocked and a bit saddened. What was a child so young doing here? Arya approached slowly, speaking softly from a distance so as to not startle the child by the fire as they seemed to have not notice her yet.
"Hello there... I'm not here to hurt you."
Arya's body language meant to convey her non-hostility too, as she lowered her sword and didn't approach the fire yet, staying a safe distance away. In the back of her mind she was still a bit cautious, finding a child so far out here in such a dangerous place was definitely odd. If the beast from before returned she would be ready.
If the child seemed up to it she would ask a question, offering a small friendly smile as well.
"How did you get all the way out here?" she asked.

The child tenses slightly, cat ears twitching. She relaxes upon seeing Arya.
"Hello!" she chirps excitedly, "My name is Corrie!"
In answer to Arya's question, she begins flapping her tiny arms frenziedly, hopping around in the pooled blood.
"I flew! My friend brought me to see the animals!"
She points excitedly at the unfortunately alive creature,
"This is my friend Din-Din!"
Now that Arya takes a closer look, she can clearly see stumps where wings might once have been.

"Well your friend seems a little... hurt," Arya said, looking at the stumps where wings used to be, perhaps this 'Din-din' is a dragon? Or whatever's left of him is.
"Don't you want to help your friend?" Arya asked, as after all the little girl seemed all too happy with Din-Din's current state. It was a bit unsettling, really and confusing. Perhaps the child did not know or understand exactly what was going on, but then again, she seemed to be just shy of ten. Probably a couple years younger.
"I am Arya," the paladin finally said.

The dragon chooses this moment to slump again, pulsing stuttering to a stop as the creature expires for the second time. Corrie pouts childishly, running over to the dying creature.
"Stop sleeping!" she shouts, "Bad Din-Din!"
A decidedly different voice, deep and gravelly resonates from nearby.
"Punishment time."
A long, sinuous creature coils out of the ground. It glistens, skinless, all muscle and coiling tentacles. It must be at least thirty feet long. Smoothly, it slips between the remaining ribs, burying itself in the exposed organs. Almost immediately, the Dragon's eyes open. While they might, perhaps, be alive, there is no life in them. The frantic heartbeat returns.
As if nothing happened at all, Corrie turns back to Arya.
"Nice to meet you Arya, Would you like to be my friend?"

Arya saw all too well now what Corrie did to her friends, and she wanted no part of that. Whatever Corrie was, she wasn't just a cute little cat girl in a pink dress. This was the creature that devoured a good portion of the dragon already.
Arya's grip on her sword tightened ever so slightly as she channeled a bit more energy, the golden blade now giving off a small glow of holy energy from the gems embedded in it that stored magical power. Arya's eyes would also begin to glow slightly, their ruby hue glinting from the magical energy being accumulated within her.
"Whatever you are, 'Corrie', I don't think I would like to be your friend," Arya said taking a step back and raising her sword slightly, "After all, I wouldn't want to end up like Din-Din here."

Corrie opens her mouth, wider and wider. It stretches from ear to ear as her head slowly seems to turn inside out. From inside the mouth, a pair of feet poke out. As her own mouth slowly works its way down her body, the legs extend out further, followed by a torso and arms. At the end of the prolonged, grotesque display, a new set of teeth close, hiding the feet of "Corrie" and revealing a man in an elegant white suit. He stands at almost exactly Arya's height, with similar proportions. Were it not for his three eyes, he might even look normal. He seems totally unafraid of the glowing sword, and takes a seat on a dry patch near the fire, gesturing for her to make herself comfortable.
"Not falling for the old 'Corrie' ploy, eh?" He asks, "What are you here for? I've no quarrel with you, and I'm presently feeling quite full."

Arya takes a little step back as 'Corrie' transforms, the grotesque display one of many unsettling things she has seen today already. In fact, these sort of things are starting to not phase her. Just when Arya expects the creature to attack though, it sits calmly on the ground, though Arya doesn't let her guard down.
"I'm here for a meteorite, a rock that fell from the sky," Arya said. The compass pointed here so she figured it would be close.

Corpus jams his right arm down his throat nearly to the shoulder, coming back up with the pendant from before.
"You probably mean this thing. It fell from the sky not too long ago and hit me."
He mutters almost inaudibly, "smashed my favorite head."
Returning to his usual tone, he waves it at her.
"I'll tell you what. We'll play a game. If you win, I'll give you the stone. Maybe even throw in a bonus if you entertain me particularly well. If you lose," He glances pointedly at 'Din-Din', "We can be 'Friends'."
Hopping to his feet, he leaps backward, "You have half an hour. Do enough damage to kill this body three times, and you win."

"Three times? How does that work...?" Arya asked, puzzled before just shrugging, "Nevermind, I don't really want to know, I'll give it my best shot I guess."
That sounded a bit odd, but Arya figured she would play along. She didn't come all the way here to leave empty-handed, after all.
The glowing aura around Arya's sword retracted from the blade then, drawing up its length and up her arm as she drew more energy. Small bolts of electricity golden in color sparked as she did so, dancing across her metal armor. The power she amassed made her eyes glow a golden color as well, the two orbs of energy glowing from beneath her helm.
She attacked then, her speed is enhanced greatly by the magical energy she had channeled into her body. Within a second she had closed the distance and slice her sword horizontal to the ground right at Corpus' middle.

Corpus is cut in half instantly, torso flying in one direction, even as his legs go another.
"Very good!" he shouts, "That's one point already!"
Dragged by some unseen hand, the legs reattach themselves and he smoothly lands. There is no sign she did damage. Even his suit looks as fresh as before it was bisected. His three eyes narrow,
"Now let's see you do it again!"

"I feel like you just let me have that first one..." Arya said, narrowing her glowing eyes slightly. She flicked her sword, sending small droplets of blood flying off the tip of the blade before preparing to attack again.
However, as she got into a stance like she was about to attack, a blinding white light flashed from where she stood, blinding anyone who looked at it for a few seconds. This would obscure Arya's form for a few seconds regardless.
As the light cleared, it seemed as if nothing changed, and Arya would charge forward, slashing her sword down at Corpus' shoulder. The only difference was the glow that surrounded Arya was gone now, and her sword once again glowed, though she still retained the same raw speed as before.

Corpus grins as the sword approaches, and doesn't move. His flesh visibly warps and splits, opening wide enough for the sword to pass through, then resealing behind it. The movements are incredibly quick. The sword seems to simply pass through him, which isn't totally wrong. At the same time, his left arm warps, a long plate of bone punching through the skin of his forearm. An improvised blade of his own flesh. He swings this arm down, aiming at her elbow.

Arya seemed to fall right into Corpus' trap, her sword passing right through him and leaving her open to attack.
Corpus' attack would land on Arya's elbow. Arya disappeared as soon as she was hit though, bursting into a blinding flash of golden light again. The momentum from the blade let it keep flying a short distance to the blood-soaked ground and stick itself blade tip first into the ground a couple feet behind Corpus now that its had poofed mid-swing.
That Arya seemed to be a light construct she had made, so then what was the sword? Almost in the same moment, Corpus would be dealing with Arya behind him, slashing at his midsection again, her sword crackling with golden bolts of lightning as she swung it, which would increase the damage it did. Arya had disguised herself as a sword and made a light construct to carry it during the previous blinding flash of light that obscured Corpus' view of her, setting up this surprise attack.

Corpus stiffens at this surprise, his body almost seeming to inflate. However, he doesn't seem to notice that she is suddenly behind him, and doesn't move at all as she swings at him.
The sword slides through his midsection with no resistance. This time, there is no reaction from him. However, the lack of resistance is itself suspicious. The body goes limp even as she slices, through it, deflating bonelessly. It's merely a hollow shell of skin, with nothing inside. A pair of grotesque, skinless hands reach up from underground behind her, grasping at her legs.
"Clever," Corpus chuckles, "But I can do it too."

Clothes and Equipment: *Clothes and Equipment*
In combat, Arya will almost always be wearing a high quality plate armor made of white plate accented in black. The armor was made to fit the user and is more form fitting than plate armor of a lower quality, which makes it hug her features a bit, while also allowing a freer range of movement. On top of this, the armor is also enchanted, which lends it additional strength in the form of various wards placed upon it. With the armor, Arya also usually has a dark navy blue cape that is enchanted to protect her from the elements that may affect a user wearing full plate normally.
Arya's sword, which she carries at all times, appears to be made out of pure gold and is ornately crafted, though in truth it is only golden in color. The blade seems to always gleam with holy energy. The source of the blade's holy energy seems to flow directly from Arya's soul, the blade and its wielder's soul linked by a powerful bond. The golden metal sword is so much a part of Arya that she can easily cast holy magic or light magic through it as she fights with it, and if one were to hold the blade, it would surrender everything of Arya's being to that person, including every memory, thought, and emotion she had ever experienced and is experiencing at the time. If the sword, which is nigh indestructible, is destroyed, however, Arya would die.
At other times, she wears more mundane clothing, though it typically consists of a cloak that is a dark navy blue, similar to her cape while she is wearing her armor that is also enchanted to protect it's wearer a bit. For the most part, she summons most of her equipment through the use of light magic, except for her sword.

Arya grits her teeth, her ruse having failed surprisingly. She thought for a moment where he could have gone, though that question was soon answered as he grasped at her legs from below.
"You're slippier than I thought then, rrrah!"
Arya swung her sword, the blade still sparking with holy lightning, down at the grasped hands near her feet before attempting to pull one of her feet away and adjust her footing into a defensive position. All the while the gems in her blade glinting once again as she gathered energy for another spell.

Arya brings her sword down, cutting into one of the hands grasping her. It cuts easily, too easily, severed fingers flying away and flopping bonelessly. While the sword itself is extremely effective, the magic has little obvious impact on the flesh. She cuts muscle, and only muscle. The other arm coils up her leg, bringing Corpus' entire muscle structure with it as it climbs up her body. It is not the only attack however. The limp pile of skin she just bisected coils like an angry snake, launching itself at her, attempting to wrap itself around her and bind her arms.
There is a whistling from above her. It's the sound of Corpus' mostly skeletal remains falling from above her. He is grinning, no longer able to speak. Deeper understanding of his monstrous physiology are on display. Hundreds of eyes stare out of crevices within the skeletal structure. His bones are twisted and reshaped. He no longer has hands, or feet, limbs ending in sharp protrusions of bone. Even his rib cage is torn open, each rib a dagger seeking her flesh.

Arya stands at about 5'10, with an athletic build composed of lean yet strong muscle due to rigorous training in plate armor most of the time. Arya has pure white hair that tumbles down to just above the small of her back in flowing waves.
Her face holds soft features, which seem welcoming to any who look upon them. Her eyes, which are a ruby red color, always seem to hold a friendly, welcoming glint.

With her sword seemingly not doing much to free herself from Corpus' grasp she focused solely on channeling the magic from her sword into her own being, the characteristic glow present in her eyes from the gathered energy brightening until her eyes were not visible beyond the blinding golden light.
She seemed intensely focused, even as the skin from Corpus' arm coiled around her, and his skeletal remains barrelled downwards towards her from above.
A second before Corpus impacted with Arya there was a flash of golden light, followed by a strong shockwave from the blast of holy energy that emanated from the epicenter where Arya had been standing. It was like a lightning strike, but much more concentrated and powerful, like an explosion of raw energy. It would incinerate and blast away anything within a 3-meter radius of Arya.

Corpus is sent flying, landing on his feet about twenty feet away. His body is back in one piece, but damaged to such a degree that it's almost unrecognizable. His suit is in tatters, scraps of half molten skin dribbling off of bones scorched nearly to black. Long strips of muscle dangle from his ribs, mixing with the rest of his mangled organs. Impossibly, he moves, bringing his hands together in a grotesque clapping motion. His voice rings out clearly, although his lower jaw is missing.
"Very well done. An excellently timed attack. We'll call that your second point."
A long tendril extends out from his back, reaching up toward the still roasting meat.
"Now seems like an excellent moment to take a break. I'll need to replenish myself before we continue."

Arya lowered her sword a bit, surveying the damage she did to Corpus in the meantime. He seemed to be quite resilient, she thought. The paladin then wondered how well she'd have fared if this was a real fight rather than a game, as he seemed to treat it.
"Sure, take your time," she said, whilst also channeling more magic herself. By now two of the six smaller red gems embedded into her blade lost their glow of magical energies, but the others still retained their glow.
She watched Corpus carefully in the meantime, waiting for him to begin again.
